hi,
When start outlook express, and the computer sends/recieves for the first
time, it asks me "please enter username and password for this server". the
username is there, and I have to type the password.
As long as I dont leave the program, I can send/recieve.
but everytime I enter the program, it asks me for my email password.
----->I have already went into accounts, and clicked on "remember password".
I have double checked all that, and triple checked.

I have no idea what the problem is. I have a sneaky suspicion it's something
about logon accounts for windows. But i'm the only one that uses the computer.

It's just frustrating to have to type the password in evertime!

thanks
